I spent some time today trying to get a good deal on some grain for
grain spawn. I first called around about WBS and of course the selection
around is limited as it tends to be a seasonal item. Only thing I could
find without cracked corn and grain chips was scotts premium finch seed
on sale for $9.99 for a 8lb bag. I have used this WBS before and it is
very nice to work with. I do believe it is a mix of millet, milo and
nijer seed.

I also called 3 different feed mills around my town and not one single
place had any type of grain usable for mushroom spawn. I am very
surprised by this.

Having wanted to switch to rye or wheat berries for some time I thought
I would head over to the bulk barn and see what the deal was.

As someone had mentioned earlier Bulk Barn in Canada sells "Hard Wheat
Kernels" which are wheat berries. Here is what I found out:

Hard Wheat Kernels - $2.40 / KG  $1.09 /  LB
25KG bag = $60 + 10% off for buying sealed bag = $54

I went ahead and purchased 5.625 Kg - 12.4Lbs at a cost of $13.50



This will allow me to get my feet wet with wheat berries, but I am
still looking for a cheaper source.

Hope this helps someone out, I will add it to the first post.

Last night I choose to prepare 2.2Kg of wheat berries to get my feet
wet so to speak. I first rinsed all the dust and other particles off
the wheat with a few runs of filling and draining, before leaving to
soak for 6 hours. After the 6 hour soak I placed the pot on the stove
and brought to a simmer watching the grain carefully.

When the grain was hydrated I took the pot off the stove and drained off
excess water before placing the wheat on a baking tray to cool. Once the
wheat was dry on the outside I loaded into jars and PCed. All in all I
think I much prefer wheat to WBS so far...if it was just a tad bit
cheaper I would be set.

2.2Kg made 7L(Qt) jars and 2 small quarter pint tupperware containers.

Making 7L jars of spawn cost me roughly $5 which is to much to pay in
my opinion. I will keep looking at feed mills and stores to see if I
can find some rye or wheat berries cheaper. Hope this helps someone
out in the future!

You could use Wheat Berries as GRAIN spawn to later inoculate a bulk
substrate for a mono tub. Yes.

I have a couple questions if ya have the time to answer?

1.after the soak for 6hrs you simmered, how long was the simmer?
2.how did ya come to the conclusion they were hydrated enough?
3.how does one tell if they are dry enough to place into jars for inoculation? the toilet paper test?(like in RR vidz)
I just want to get this right so I don't mess things up or get to many contams, plan to do 10 1-liters(quart) jars to one syringe(10ml)for one mono tub, not sure if that ratio is good for one mono tub ?

1. The simmer was about 20-30 minutes.
2. When the kernels are easily broken between your finger nails but are
not mush. Once you do it a few times you can easily tell when its ready.
3. Toilet paper test is a good method to use
4. I do not grow actives so I have no idea about a proper mono tub
for them. I would suggest searching the forums for that information as
it will not be hard to find. A good spawn ratio for cube spawn to bulk
is usually 1:4.

    #13807492 - 01/18/11 12:11 PM (13 years, 12 days ago)

very helpful list just thought i would say thanks EvilMushroom666S
for a job well done

-alcohol lamp -any idea where they sell these?

perhaps you could add these to the list
-traditional yeast
- lily white cornsyrup

they are probably not that difficult to locate
so i could see why you may have skipped over them

thanks for the information much appreciated Shroomery ,Sponsors & Users

You can buy an alcohol lamp online at many of the lab supply companies
listed in the original post. You could also look into making your own.

Personally for safety and ease of use I prefer a propane torch.

I Love Propane & Propane Accessories [Re: EvilMushroom666] * 1
    #13808411 - 01/18/11 02:44 PM (13 years, 12 days ago)

Propane torch works great i use it all the time i have 3-5 torch heads
so this makes it easy for me to find a slow low burner torch head for sterilizing

-lighters seem barbaric considering you have to light it up with hand after each jar
- propane torch generally has a nob that allows for accurate flame adjustments
& comes in many different options vertical and horizontal & expensive adjustable ones

- Becareful some models  come with simple on and off settings
& or a built lock switch or button
-For most these are useless and uneconomical as the propane is used up 2-5x faster
-for most uses u only need a low to mid high temp adjusting to your needs

but ya aside from a little bulky i think it will work good on a low burn
- the time to sterilize will definitely be reduced compared to most devices used

-maybe add Propane Torch to the list of things as a alternative to lighter/alcohol lamp
its more locally available and works just as good

Thanks again EvilMushroom666 Saved me some $$

& thanks Shroomery , Sponsors & Users

Propane torch all the way.
No soot, adjustable and makes anything red hot in about a second.
You can't spill or break it either.
You do have to watch it when it's on but I don't consider it any more dangerous than a glass bottle filled with flammable liquid and set on fire...on purpose.

To hell with soot.
Burnt thumbs..

Why use a lighter?

I prefer the Fat Boy propane tanks with whatever soldering nozzle you have
kicking around. They have a wider base so are a bit more sturdy I find.

One 17OZ tank costs me $5 and change and seems to still have a fair bit
left even after all these months of use. Cannot go wrong IMO.

Oh yeah...lily white corn syrup...
I'm testing "Crown" syrup right now.

As for yeast don't bother tracking down anything fancy.



Brewer's yeast, natural yeast, organic yeast.
Doesn't matter.

Iv played with a few different brands of syrups and have not really cared
for any of them. If I am making a sugar based LC I tend to lean towards
the LME/Dex recipes after being turned onto them by Hamloaf. Has not
steered me wrong and is very consistent in results.

Yeah I know but I'm not gonna buy a 5 pound bag of malt when I use it 4 grams at a time!
I'm trying to work with what I got.

Im not bashing the method just stating personal preference:shrug:

I got a 500G bag of LME for 5 dollars and change down at a brew your own
store. I place a small amount in an air/water tight container for immediate use
and then the rest in a large air/water tight container until I need a refill.
Iv been using the same bag of LME for close to a year now and easily have
300 Grams left.

How much does a jar of corn syrup run?
